Coach Holo Purse Inspired Rainbow Gradient - with a YouTube Tutorial!

Press Sample, Affiliate Code

Hey Everyone!

What came first?  The holographic purse or the holo polish?

A couple weeks back I got an email from the Coach Outlet showing some new holo leather items that were about to release..... I was like whaaatttttttttt!  Purses are some of my fav things in the whole world so when the nail world combines with purse, I'm there.  They were only launching in the outlet so I ran to get them that weekend.  I'm glad I did because I got some of the last items and they sold out rather quickly.  They were rumored to be eventually available on the online site but so far no luck.  I really hope they show up because I definitely want to pick up some of the other matching items and I want my fellow polish friends to have a crack at them too!

Of course I was inspired to do a matching mani!

I went with my indies because HOLOOOOOOOOO lol

When your @coach holo purse matches your holo polish 😂😂😂 I got an email this week from Coach showing this new purse at the outlet and I was like 🏃🏼🚗💳💸💸💸 TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!! Lol It's not as flashy in person but the camera flash really brings out the holo! If you want to see more pics follow me on snapchat 👉🏻twi_star AND @blisspolish has a bunch of pics of what else is available. I paid $129 for the little purse and $29 for each flat wristlet. I got the last purse at my store, so if you want these ya better move quick. I wish my store had the cosmetic bag but hopefully that will be online eventually 😄 #Holo #HoloPolish #Coach #CoachOutlet #Purse #holosexual

Winstonia Store Dotting Tool review and leopard nail art!

Affiliate Code, Press Sample (Some of these items were sent for review)

Hi Guys!

Hopefully this week is treating you well, the weather by me has been so crappy. It’s been raining for about a week straight and it’s not letting up anytime soon. Come on! It’s Summer! I’m supposed to be sitting in my driveway every day after work with a frozen drink and yelling at all the neighborhood kids for leaving their garbage all over my lawn. This is a true story, I’ve actually become this lady lol Hey, just don’t act like an ass outside of my house and leave your trash and we can all exist peacefully. Haha!



Well onto my mani that I’m so in love with. I was sent a new dotting tool from Winstonia Store for review, I was like dotting tool? Why do I need a new dotting tool? But now that I’ve used it I’ve seen the light! It’s actually pretty great and I think they’ve improved the whole dotting experience. It’s a metal double-ended barrel and the tips unscrew from the ends and then can be stored inside of the barrel. It comes with 8 interchangeable tips, so instead of having 4 double-ended dotting tools you can now have one! It’s very well made and has a good weight to it. It feels pretty fancy actually haha The only downside that I could think of, would be if you were in the middle of doing a mani and wanted to switch out a tip you’d have to unscrew one and potentially mess up your in-process mani. But for this mani I only needed to 2 size tips so I just screwed them in before I started. I don’t think I’ve ever needed more than 2 sizes for one design so I don’t see myself running into this problem but I thought it was worth noting.

Winstonia Store sent me a 10% discount code, use code TWISTAR. Pretty clever code right? HA! Love it.



This purple! I reviewed the Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neons HERE and then I also did a bunch of stamping manis with this collection HERE. I’ve been wanting to use ‘Diggin’ The Dancing Queen’ again and leopard seemed purrfect! Like my review said, these polishes got mostly bad reviews BUT I find using 2 coats over 1 coat white undies and they are sooooo pretty! They’re a little thick but sheer but the white undie cancels it all out and they’re worth it to me.

Every time I see the Geico commercial with the camels at the zoo and the people yelling "Hummmpppp Dayyyyy!" at them, I can't help but crack up. Because you know it's true lol So for hump day, I decided to recreate a mani from @thenailboss on Instagram that I fell in love with a while back. Check out what I did!





This blue is so pretty! This is Eye Sea from Polish My Life, very nice formula.



Big Bang from Different Dimension is my fave polish from 2014! It's an all glitter polish opaque in 2 coats, love it.



For the sheer pink base I used Bliss Kiss Simply Smooth base coat and applied straight nail vinyls from Vinyl It Up to tape off the tips. The black is Commando from Polish My Life. I love how the bright colors look against the sheer pink!



This mani could be my fave of the month so far! Thanks for checking out my mani!

Different Dimension - No One Elsa But You

Snow snow go away and DON'T come back another day!!! Arrggghhhhhh snow I hate thee! Why does snow suddenly turn me into a pirate? Come me Matey's and let us feast our eyes upon some booty!



This gorgeous icy blue holo is No One Elsa But You from DIFFERENT Dimension. Obviously named after Elsa from Frozen. I've never seen Frozen nor do I care lol BUT I still needed this polish! Great formula and perfect for eternal blizzard I seem to be stuck in.





The pastel blue creme is New Birth from China Glaze. I read this one was a little patchy and thick so I added some thinner and it turned out nice. I used 3 thin coats here.





The blingy charm is from ebay.



Despite the icy snow outside I thoroughly enjoyed this mani! Thanks for stopping in to warm up ;)

Lucky Lacquer - Dahlia leopard nail art

Hi Everyone!

It’s Thursday so that means Vampire Diaries is on and that just makes me happy. You know what else makes me happy? Leopard manis, the best right? And I have a new gorgeous polish from Lucky Lacquer to share. I bought a few LL polishes but I’m thinking this is my fav, it’s insanely gorgeous and a super great formula.

Check it out!





This is Dahlia from Lucky Lacquer, I just love it so much. I’d call it radiant orchid ya know the pantone color of the year. All the Lucky Lacquer polishes I have have a decent formula but this one was really decent, like wonderful actually. Almost a 1 coater! But really, I never do 1 coat haha But if you apply carefully you could get away with 1 coat with Dahlia.



For the leopard print I used a base of Lucky Lacquer Alpine Phlox, Dahlia for the inner dots, and then Julep Brandt for the outer ring. I’m gonna need another bottle of Brandt soon, I use it probably 3x per week for detailing. Alpine Phlox and Dahlia are a perfect match.



The glitterbomb is my fav glitter from DIFFERENT dimension, Big Bang. This is 2 coats of perfection, so glitter dense and opaque and you only need 2 coats so it doesn’t build up! Perfect.



Basically you all need Lucky Lacquer Dahlia in your life, it’s one of my fav polishes I’ve bought in a while! AND you can use my code STAR for 10% off your entire purchase at Lucky Lacquer. Thanks for stopping by!

Julep - DeAnn OPI My very first Knockwurst and Different DIMENSION Big Bang - leopard animal print nail art

Happy Hump Day!

Lately I’ve been loving doing 2 accents nails, my middle and ring fingers. I dunno why but I can only seem to come up with manis using this look lol So, check out my latest haha



I chose Julep DeAnn, a loganberry cream for my thumb, pointer, and pinky. It’s a beautiful color, formula was so-so. I added thinner to it since it was a little thick, that helped some but it also wanted to flood my cuticles while still being thick-ish. Weird. This is 2 coats.



For my ring base color I used OPI My very first Knockwurst. I love this color, it’s a pinkish beige cream, such a great neutral. Formula is good, this is 2 coats. I used Different DIMENSION Big Bang as the center dots for my leopard spots and Sinful Colors Black on Black for the outer ring.



I’ve been using Different DIMENSION Big Bang a lot since I got it, it’s just amazing! I used 2 coats on my middle finger, it is that dense and opaque. My goodness I love this polish.





While I was doing this mani I was feeling iffy on it, but then it all came together in the end and I loved how it came out!



Bonus pics! Yesterday I got some nail mail from Gridlock Lacquer, I ordered The Aud, Westside Warriors, Kaisertown, and BuffaLove. How great do they look!!! Can’t wait to use these.



My second package was from Vinyl it Up. More nail vinyls yaaaaaaaaayyyyy! I think I’m most excited to use the little mustaches haha!

Different Dimension Big Bang and Julep Ginger holo neutrals

Hola Internet!

I noticed my last few manis have been pretty dark so I wanted to go nice and neutral. As per usual I couldn’t avoid glitter haha! I’ve been gaga over Different Dimension Big Bang. Oh. My. It’s a full coverage silver holo glitter, it’s intense and absolutely perfect. Big Bang makes me very happy lol

Check out what I paired it with.





I mean really. Just look at Big Bang. It’s like a glitter lovers dream, and she makes me swoon. This is 2 coats, not thick coats either just normal. It applies so perfectly for a glitter and dries nice and fast.



For my neutral I chose Julep Ginger, a very subtle beige holo. I like subtle holo’s but I could see crazy holo lovers not liking this one. It does throw a little rainbow action just enough to add some drama but no spectraflair action here. This is 2 coats, the formula was really great and smooth.







I used 2mm silver square studs that I got from ebay.



This combo was exactly what I was in the mood for! And I just want to wear Big Bang every day of my life for forever. Ok, maybe an exaggeration but I think it would take me a long time to get sick of haha Thanks for visiting!
